Human Dragonfly Wings

+0
−0

So dragonflies are the sky's perfect predator, and while their are many adaptations that make this one big one is their wings. And one character in my story has these along with other mammalian versions of dragonfly/damselfly adaptations, but for this question I will just focus on the wings. So could a wing like this exist and work in a genetically modified human, and if not is their another way to do it?

So these wings are an extension of the rib cage with a membrane connecting them a lot like bat wings. They look like dragonfly wings and use powered flight similar to insects. There are four of them(two on each side) and they allow the person to fly just like a dragonfly and with the elegance of one.
